Chapter 58: Arrange a way out
"General, the camp of the rebels has been found in front, just two miles outside Yangzhou City, should we sneak attack at night!"
When the day was about to dawn, Yuwen Chengdu's army finally arrived at Yangzhou City, they were less than ten miles away from Yangzhou City at this time, and they could already see the drum tower in Yangzhou City from a distance. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Yuwen Chengdu glanced at Yangzhou City, the camp of the rebels was still stationed outside the city, and Yangzhou City was not lost, he finally arrived before the rebels broke the city.
He glanced at his subordinates, after a day and a night of traveling, the soldiers were now extremely tired, even the war horses were foaming at the mouth, and the soles of their feet were weak, and it was tantamount to looking for death to attack the rebels in their current state.
"Pass the order, let the army retreat, retreat ten miles, go into the mountains to rest, rest on the spot after the army enters the mountains, and wait for my order to march again!"
At this time, it was the time of Yin, and there was almost an hour before dawn, and it would take at least half an hour for the rebels to eat and camp and prepare for battle after they got up, and for the Sui army, this more than an hour of time was crucial, and they had to rely on this time to recover their energy.
The Sui army came and went quietly, and the anti-army scouts did not find their traces at all.
Soon, they withdrew to a dense mountain forest, it was the height of summer, the weather was very hot, the soldiers were exhausted, one by one lay down in their clothes, and soon the snoring was continuous, leaving only the horses leisurely eating grass and young leaves, replenishing their strength.
Yuwen Chengdu is physically strong, much better than ordinary people, although he is a little tired at this time, but he did not fall asleep immediately, but took out yesterday's letter and read it carefully.
The content of the letter is very simple, just two sentences, Yangzhou is about to break the city, and the general should march overnight; The counter-army offensive is fierce, and the attack is at noon!
The first sentence of these two sentences is to remind him not to delay on the road, to march overnight, otherwise when he feels that Yangzhou City, Yangzhou City has been breached, and the second sentence reminds him that the anti-army attack is very sharp, and asks him to send troops to attack the anti-army at noon.
This person is really very powerful, he seems to know everything, taking into account the movements of both sides, and even knows when the rebels are attacking sharply, Yangzhou City will be in danger.
Yuwen Chengdu now thinks about it, if he didn't meet this messenger last night, but chose to camp, I'm afraid that by the time he leads the army to feel Yangzhou City, Yangzhou City has already been taken.
Yuwen Cheng finally stopped thinking about so many things, he closed his eyes, let himself relax, and soon fell asleep, and the scouts of the army patrolled vigilantly on the edge of the woods, paying attention to the movements around him, so as not to be discovered by the enemy.
Yuwen Chengdu didn't know why the people of Langya Pavilion wanted to help them, and he didn't know why the people of Langya Pavilion would understand things so clearly, this was because he didn't know that in fact, the things on both sides were arranged by Langya Pavilion.
When the anti-king people of the Thirteenth Road asked Langya Pavilion for advice, Liu Zhi found that they had the intention of destroying Langya Pavilion, because they also brought a large number of soldiers to follow, in order to protect Langya Pavilion, the most important thing was to protect the safety of those civilians under the mountain, so Liu Zhi gave the anti-kings a strategy, let them lead their troops to attack Yangzhou City.
Although attacking Yangzhou City is a good plan, Liu Zhi has many better ideas than this, but he didn't say anything, because once Du Fuwei and they defeated Yang Guang's Sui army too quickly, it would be unfavorable to their side, Du Fuwei and Fu Gongqi had already started to move Langya Pavilion, so Liu Zhi naturally couldn't help them so thoroughly, he asked the Thirteen Roads Anti-Wang to lead his troops to attack Yangzhou, on the one hand, to deal with them, on the other hand, it was also delaying time, They will not be able to set their goals on themselves for a short period of time, and then they can implement their own plans.
He knew that the Sui army would definitely receive a distress letter from Yangzhou, and he also knew that Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty would definitely send Yuwen Chengdu to fight, the reason was very simple, at present, only Yuwenshu's Xiaoguo army had such strength to be able to dispatch cavalry to Yangzhou quickly, if the water army or infantry went to the rescue, then before they arrived, Yangzhou City was beaten down by the chaotic army.
Since he knew that it was Yuwen Chengdu who led the troops, Liu Zhi wrote a letter to Yuwen Chengdu, telling him how to deal with the anti-kings, if Yuwen Chengdu was willing to accept his advice, then it would not be difficult to defeat the anti-king's army, but whether they could be wiped out or not depended on their creation.
"Pavilion Master, the craftsmen have already started construction, what do you think we need to do next?"
After the chief official in the cabinet completed the things assigned to him by Liu Zhi, he rushed to report the current progress of the matter to Liu Zhi and accept the next arrangement.
"Next, have all the people in the village been notified? If they are willing to go, then register them all, reserve space for them on the ship, if they are not willing to go, then give them a sum of money and food, let them leave here, after the end of the first battle in Yangzhou City, Langya Mountain is already unsafe! ”
The chief officer asked puzzledly: "Pavilion Master, you asked us to prepare everything when the Thirteen Roads Anti-King Alliance, and now you say that this place will be unsafe in the future, what is the reason for this?" ”
Liu Zhi smiled and said, "Because people's hearts are unpredictable!" People in this world are like this, they all know the value of our existence, the so-called Langya, they know to ask us for a plan, then their enemies naturally also know to ask us for a plan, so that although we have helped them, but it has also become a hidden danger for them, just like this time Du Fuwei, this person was after Xiao Mo before, thinking that I Langya Pavilion had asked about the plan, and they did not know the rules of my Langya Pavilion, the person who asked me Langya Pavilion for a plan had only one chance at most, but Du Fuwei asked twice, We still have to answer, otherwise he will be swords-and-soldiers, think at the beginning, he Du Fuwei was just a small thief when he got into trouble, and now his power is gradually expanding, he wants to coerce us by force, a Du Fuwei is still like this, then Li Mi in Henan, Li Yuan in Guanzhong, and Dou Jiande in Hebei which one is not so, we do not have enough strength to protect ourselves, so instead of being coerced by them here, it is better to simply leave Middle Earth, go to another place, find another way, and establish a paradise, Isn't that beautiful?
